This is a nice charming little game. Thanks for making it. Here are a few improvement suggestions.

  1. In Windows make the game fill the application window. I've seen other Pico-8 games force the application window to the size of the active screen.
  2. Make any standard Pico-8 button restart the game after the player runs out of lives. This includes the arrow keys. This would make it easier to get back to the action especially for one handed players.
  3. Make the game remember your 3-letter alias when you have a high score. That way you don't have to enter it every time.
  4. Maybe have the high score screen appear over a replay of your last game session. Not in its own dedicated screen. That would make it super sweet looking.
  5. Maybe make the game appear safe to windows so that annoying blue pop-up window doesn't appear when running it the first time. Just saying.

Wouldn't a sequel be neat. One where Santa goes to hell to pick up lost and stolen presents from Satan.
